He Makes His Own Money.

l. iOAii 'AAN Pm" AoNH'J
A little bit of man, not five feet high,
stood on tiptoe in front of the cashiers
window at the West End Hotel, Long
Branch, and timidly asked him for q
pair OF scissors. When they were
handed to him he pulled roll of nat
ional bank bills from his coat pocket.
They were in sheet form, just as pos
tage stamps come, and he clipped off a
500 bill. He wrote his name across its
face in the space reserved for the Presi-
dents autograph, and then cOolly asked
Cashier Kelley to change it for him.
Mr. Kelcey accommodated this maker
of currency after carefully inspecting
it and seeing that it was bona tide note
of national bank in Michigan. The
little man with this enviable power as a
money maker was Mr. Jacob Seligman,
who is known through all Michigan as
''Little Jake" He was the leading
clothing merchant of the State until he
became banker and railroad tinancler,
as we'll as one of the biggest lumber
merchants in that region. He is now
millionaire, n director in nine banks and
the owner of considerable real estate in
Sault St. Marie region. Some people
say he will be the richest man in the
State if he lives to realize on his invest
ments. Yet he went out to Michigan
twenty five years ago with only 500
in his pockets. He made his fortune
in strange way. In order to start in
the clothing business he obtained credit
for 5000 worth of goods. He spent the
500 cash he had in hiring wagon, q
brass band, and four horses, and invest
ing i'll circulars and advertising. He
made it known that Little Jake would
reach town at certain hour and dis
tribute socks and overalls free from his
wagon in the public square. He told
me to-day that he emptied his wagon
load to throng of people, scattering
over their heads at the same time
perfect cloud of dodgers stating that he
was going to sell them all sorts of cloth
ing for the next month For fifteen
years Little Jake followed this quaint
scheme for making himself known,
travelling from town to town until he
had store established in every impor-
tant city in the State. He was not only
the biggest clothing dealer but the
biggest newspaper advertiser as well.
Since then he has made rapid strides
to become the biggest banker, but he is
still the smallest man in the State in

A BOYS REVENGE.
How He Made Life a Burden to u
Supercilious Bank Teller.

The BdltiDa0re american tells this story
of a boy: There is in Washington a
small boy, not more than ten years of
age, whose indulgent mother keeps him
well supplied with pocket money. This
young man opened an account with the
local savings bank some time ago, and
April / he had on deposit there about
$35. Two or three days later he had q
falling ont with the teller of the institu-
ton. For nearly week he tried to
think up some method for settling the
score and at last he hit upon plan.
He went to the bank and drew out $50
from his store. Then he went over to
the Treasury building, which is just
across the street, and got his three
items" converted into thirty cones. -
Next he proceeded to make out thirty
deposit slips, each for one dollar. These
he carried to the bank, one at a time,
compelling the poor teller to make thirty
separate entries in his books. The next
day this young fiend again drew out
$50. Again he visited the Treasury,
but this time he had his money changed
into silver quarters, bright from the
mint. One hundred and twenty deposit
tickets were then prepared, and cor
responding number Of entries had to be
made in that unfortunate teller's big
books. Then for three days an armis-
tice was declared, but at the end of that
time $50 was again drawn out, and this
time when the boy visited the Treasury
building it was dimes that he wanted.
The regulation deposit slips were pre-
pared once more, and the teller gritted
his teeth when he saw that he was again
to be made the victim of that boys vim
dictiveness. At last the 300 dimes were
all in the bank, and the young villain
prepared to reduce the store of his
wealth to nickels, but he was notified
that the bank would insist upon the 80
days notice allowed by law, and for a
time the teller rests.

The Irishman Too Much for Him.

At a certain debating society an
English doctor recently argued that the
Irish were naturally depraved and dis
honest race, and in support of his pos
ition he adduced his own experience.
He remarked that he had at Manchester
800 Irish patients on his books, and out
of this number only 80 paid him his
fees.
An Irishman arose when the doctor
sat down, and said:
''Sor, there is never an effect without
a cause; there is never phenomenon
which does not admit of an explanation.
How, sor, can we explain the extraordi-
nary phenomenon to which the doctor
has called our attention He finds an
explanation i'll the natural depravity of
the Irish nature. [, sor, have another
explanation to offer, and it is this:
That the thirty patients who paid him
were the only ones that recovered.

To Properly Endorse a Check.

Very few otherwise intelligent and ed
ucated people understand how to prop
eriy endorse a check payable to their or
der, aud few realize the inconvenience
they cause by placing their endorsement
in an awkward position. An observance
of the following rules will enable any
body to place the signature in the proper
place:
1. Write across the back-not length
wise.
?. The top of the back is the left end
of tic face.
3. To deposit a check, write For de-
post only to credit Of" and below
this write his own name.
4. Simply writing your own name on
the back of a check signifies that it has
passed through your hands and is pay
able to bearer.
6. Always indorse check Just as it
appears on the face. For instance, If
the check is payable to sc. Read, " in
dorse &c. Reed" if to "Geo. Read"
indorse "Geo. Read" if to George F.
Read" indorse George F. Read" If
the spelling of the name on the face of
the check is wrong, indorse first just as
the face appears, and below in the prop
er way.
G. If you wish to make the check pay
able to some particular person, write
payable tor order ---'
In England all checks are payable
to bearer, but in this country all stran-
gers presenting checks for payment must
b. identified by some one known to the
bank Commercial Neo5.

The Majors BlackthOrm.

Major Hoggarty was in the city, and
while seated upon one of the red-leath-
cred ottomans at the Delavan, reeled off
this story. 81 never carried bludgeon
in my life," said he, "save sword while
| was in the army, and that was perfect
ly harmless in my hands. In one of my
political canvasses, friend of mine re-
marked: You are out all hours of the
night and are you never afraid that you
may be assaulted for the money you
have on your person or your watch (?
'Oh no, said, but [ must tell you that
the constant talk of danger kept me
thinking that it would be as well, per-
haps, to be armed to a certain extent,

1 thought might serve the purpose. I
hadn't long to wait. One night rs

thinking [ had done my whole duty in
protecting myself from assault, soon
found my door. Next morning as 1
reached the corner of my street l found
a friend of mine with what appeared to
be the map of some strange country on
his head in sticking plaster, and on
making the inquiry, what has hap
pened to you? he informed me that he
had been talking with a friend of his
the night before in the milllman's gate,
and had bade him good night, and step
out across to his own house, when a
burly ruffian stretched him with blow
of bludgeon. He said, when he came
to himself, and found his watch all right
and his bit of money, he concluded that
it was an act of private vengeance Wltil
fear and trembling, 1 inquired whom he
suspected, when he answered that he
had had few words with an old friend
at recent picnic and had had clinch,
and, although he thought it was al
quieted and forgotten, he had concluded
that this man was the one who had com
mitted the assault upon him. The club
struck man. the Major concluded, "was
always my friend, and worked like a

Very Costly Teeth.

| was i'll II dentists office up town the
other day where a woman was seated in
the chair, when ] noticed a flashing
light from the point of one of her front
teeth which struck me as being the re-
tlected rays from diamond. / said as
much to the dentist when lie came to
speak with me, and he astonished me
by replying: THAT is just what it is.
1t is frequently the case that we have
ladies come here whose front teeth are
so badly injured that filling them with
gold produces a disagreeable appearance.
BY putting in small diamond with a
gold setting the Disagreement is less
noticeable. I had n remarkable case
not long since. A wealthy California
gentleman brought to me his daughter
to have her teeth examined. One of
her upper front teeth had the peculiar
formation of pearl. The pearl was
not complete but was sufficiently de
fined and distinct so that there could be
no mistake about it. The companion
tooth was badly decayed and her father
desired to have a diamond set in it.
